review :: dadoo kids

As the mother of three boys, it's always irritated me how it's often difficult to find cute clothes in a boyish style. It seems like boys' clothing goes in one of two ways - babyish, or miniature adult. Wanting to find clothing that was far from plain and boring for my sons, I was thrilled when a review opportunity for dadoo kids came my way!
Dadoo kids offers clothing that is unique and fun for children (girls too, I was just personally excited about the boy clothes! ;)) and is also organic and perfect for children with skin sensitivities. Check out the completely adorable Red Helicopter and Gold Raglan Tee my son was sent:

Seriously - could that be any cuter? I'm going with no.

Dadoo kids is all about no muss, no fuss. All of the clothing is easy for children to take on and pull of themselves (perfect for potty training!) and the pieces pair well together, encouraging children to explore their independent style by mixing and matching. Everything is made with organic cotton and bamboo blends, and you won't believe how incredibly soft they are! Bamboo naturally whisks moisture away from the skin, making dadoo kids' clothing not only organic and soft, but perfect for children with skin sensitivities, as well as those who complain of "itchy" clothing.

I'm highly impressed with the quality of the clothing at dadoo kids. The pictures do not do justice to how adorable the patterns are! Unique and functional, you're going to find something you will love at dadoo kids!

Tasty Baby :: Review

I am head over heels in love with Tasty Baby! The products are mouth watering, the company holds itself to admirably high standards, and they truly care about you, the consumer. What's not to love? Tasty Brand generously offered me vouchers to try their products for free, and my kids (And myself! I can admit to sneaking a bite or two!) were blown away by their Organic Fruit Snacks. Organic, no high fructose corn syrup or artificial colors or flavors and they taste great?! They were a hit all around the table! I no longer have a child young enough to need purees or rice cereals, both are also available with Tasty Brand offers, but I can only imagine that they are every bit as fabulous as the fruit snacks!

The food is yummy, yes, but I'm floored by philosophy of this company! Taken from their website:

"The entire concept of Tastybaby was borne out of our values and philosophies on life! The things we hold most dear are the health and well-being of our children and the planet they are going to inherit. Giving our babies what we believe to be the best possible start in life is so important to us, and now with Tastybaby, we are especially proud that we are able to share this gift with our customers."

Think actions speak louder than words? Me too. That's why I was thrilled to learn that Tasty Baby is a company who gives back. Not only do they financially support various local charities in L.A., but they invest themselves in time. Check out their website to see what they've been up to...I think you'll be impressed!

Bottom line? Tasty Baby is packed full of organic goodness, tastes incredible, and you can feel good about supporting a company who cares. Their products are a win/win for both parent and child!

Futurewear :: Bersica

Summer is approaching, which means lots of dirt, water play, and "outdoor play clothes" stained with grass, sweat, sand, and whatever else your kids have rolled around in. Right? Wrong! Step into the future of children's clothing with Bersica Futurewear, and see how you can spend less time cleaning, and more time letting your kids be kids!

Berica Futurewear is a truly innovative and revolutionary idea of high performance clothing, and you've never seen anything like it! Using the advanced technology of NanoSphere, Berica Futurewear clothing actually repels water, liquid, oil and dirt and, believe me, it works! Being the skeptic that I am, I decided to test their claims, putting my 16 month old son in a shirt from Bersica Futurewear. I then fed him a nice spaghetti dinner. ;) To my amazement (and delight!) his shirt stayed clean throughout the entire meal. He's learning to feed himself and definitely dropped more spaghetti on his chest than went into his mouth, but the spaghetti sauce immediately beaded up on his shirt rather than soaking in, and the entire meal wiped right off, leaving him looking every bit as fresh as before dinner!

The environmentally friendly consumer will definitely appreciate Bersica Futurewear, too. Bersica Futurewear has been certified with the bluesign standard, meaning they have the highest possible exclusion of substances that are harmful to humans and the environment. This clothing line doesn't get dirty with regular daily wear, so needs to be cleaned less frequently, and can be air dried. They are a company that believes our actions today directly affect tomorrow, and so they have partnered with the Houston Zoo to help fund wildlife and planet conservation projects all over the world. To sum it up for you: Bersica Futurewear is a company that you can feel good about supporting!

It's time to let the kids be kids, and stop worrying about the mess! Let your little ones have fun and stay clean in style with Bersica Futurewear!
